While certain companies have taken
scarcely any steps toward equipping their
cars with steam. heating apparatus, others
are now hard at work, and ii is probable
that very few stoves will be used next
winter on the great lines. The Rd'lroaa
Gasetts has undertaken 10 nnd out how
much progress has been made. Reports
from roads having 81 ,2j0 miles Of track
and using more than 1900 cars that
must be heated in some way have been
procured. and they show that on these
roads 1892 cars and i07 engines are tilted
with apparatus OF some kind for c0ntnu-
Gus healing by steam taken from the
locomotive. But of these I 900 cars and
2GO engines are furnished by the elevated
roads i'm this city The remainder
1892 cars and AZ enGincsl shows says
the Gozetfe. probably more than one half
OF the equipments with which the roads
are Experimenting. although the number
of cars equipped for trial is increasing
daily. ~ J. Tina
The Comptroller Of the Currency has
taken the trouble to prepare a codinca-
/ ii0u and revision Of The National Bank
/ laws, to be submitted TO Congress al its
approaching session. His ayowed pur
| pose is 10 make the business Of banking
under the national system easier and more
profitable in order 10 save the system
/ from the speedy death which now threat
ems il
With the extinction Of national bank
circulation, which will follow inevitably
the extinction of the national debt the
only reason for the existence Of banks
I supervised by the Federal Government
will also pass away The very title Of
I the officer who exercises this supervision,
+ the Comptroller of Currency
strates the fact. Except for the interest
of the public IN he s0undness of circu
/ lating medium which is used an over the
country, there is no more need for a
national bank syst m than there is for %
national fire insurance system or a ma
tional manufacturing act.-A. !. Sun.
The Philadelphia Iu.@ says OF The
great political organization that has been
the centre Of so many political intri1ues,
tina, the corpse of Irving Hall of New
York has been laid 10 rest by It's few
sorrowing friends, and It's effects are now
being sold al public sale. The air is
lighter and breathing more easy since 10
turned over on its side and expired. An
organization which could declare for both
Henry George and De Lancey NicOll
81. g
not 90 speak of It's many other political
gyratiOns. was much too agile even for
the city OF Sharp and Tweed. IL Sc ms
10 have expired principally because peo-
pie wanted 10 10 die. With Iammany
and the county organizations in the field
there will still be- enough monkey-and-
parrot times to suit all beholders

gre-sman McCreary about the confer
cnce between Mc-srs. Carlisle and Ran
dall
u understand Speaker Carlisle and Mr.
Randall had another conference to-day.
talked with Nr Randall for some little
time last evening. and ann convinced from
what he said that some common ground
can De found upon which he and the
Speaker can come together.
"As 10 ibis report that Mr Carlisle is
n'emplating declining the speakership
for the purpose Of carrying ON The tariff
